The ods of the asteroid hitting the planet keep increasing, i guess not all news is bad
Unfortunately, it's still a relatively small rock.

Also unfortunately, that's fairly expected. It will increase some, then it will likely drop sharply down to 0.
 
Anyone on here an electrician or have actual knowledge dealing with electric?
I’m trying to make a small airbrushing booth using a cardboard box, a bathroom exhaust, LED strips, and a dpdt toggle switch but I cannot fathom how to wire it up.
I want the light to be able to turn on by itself in the up position and both the fan and the light to turn in the down position, with neutral being off.

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure that's possible unless you open up the fan and get creative with the internal wiring.

You would need 2 separate "hot" wires coming from the switch. You could use 3 wire for this. Use the black to power the light and the red to power fan/light.

The problem is what to do when you get to the fixture. In order to power both fan and light, they need to be pigtailed together. How you do that without always powering both is where the issue is. You'd need two separate wires from the fixture itself to power the light, and don't think you can do that. They would need to be isolated from each other, otherwise anytime you turn the light on it will also power the fan.

Edit: I think there is a way....or maybe not lol. I don't have time at the moment. If I figure it out I'll let you know.

So Amazon is 100% gonna do a James Bond (universe) tv show. Wouldn't shock me if there's a Moneypenny limited series or something.
